azblackbird Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Dude originally was a mushroom hunter, then started finding a few nuggets here and there while hunting mushrooms. He put 2 and 2 together and figured he use his mushroom experience to find potential gold bearing areas as they were similar in nature. One of my favorite rags to riches stories!

I've slowed down considerably with age, but don't think I'll ever be able to quit completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
